Burbank. A very productive, large, handsome and popular 
variety. Our trees of this variety, when loaded with ripe fruit, 
presented the handsomest fruit picture it was ever our privilege 
to look upon. The Rural Nezu-Yorker of September 18, 1897, 
says: “The handsomest 
Plums we have ever seen 
were sent to us by But- 
ler & Jewell, nursery- 
men, Cromwell, Conn. 
— Burbanks. They were 
all about the same size, 
and measured 6 %. inches 
either way in circumfer- 
ence, being, therefore, 
nearly round.” A trifle 
darker in color and 
firmer in flesh than 
Abundance. 
Chabot. (Also sold 
under the names of 
Chase, Bailey, Yellow 
Japan, Botankio, Hat- 
tankio, O’Hattankio, 
Furugiya and Orient. ) chabot plum. 
Medium to large, hand- 
some fruit, which sells readily at top prices. Comes at a conve- 
nient season for canning — September. It resembles our European 
Plums when canned. An extra good keeper. We cannot recom- 
mend this Plum too highly. We are setting trees of it by the 
thousand in our orchards, and we advise all who wish good 
Plums and good dollars to plant it liberally. Tree a handsome, 
upright grower. The flesh of the Plum is juicy, rich and delicious. 
RED JUNE PLUM. 
Hale. An extremely 
vigorous tree, produc- 
ing fair -sized, greenish 
yellow Plums of superior 
quality. Trees have not 
been productive with us ; 
may do better further 
south or when they are 
older here. Mid-August. 
Georgeson (White Kel- 
sey, Normand, Mikado, 
Yeddo). Fruit medium 
to large, yellow, with 
whitish bloom ; flesh 
firm, solid and of fine 
quality. A long keeper. 
Season about with Bur- 
bank. Tree a rather 
better grower than Bur- 
bank, but inclined to 
sprawd.
